There werc thrco important Council
committee meetings hold at the Public
Building last evez.ing. Probably the most
important was that OF the Joint Standing
Committee on Health. Chairman Jaeger
presided and nearly all tho members were
present. The meeting was called 10 con.
slider what action could be taken looking
TO q relocation Of the much.talked about
garbage and nigh. soil crematory. The
evening OF the day on which the furnace
was formally tested by burning and de.
stroyiug q dead horse, the committee
met and unanimously decided that
the cremstory, Ia order TO I'm. a
success, would have to be moved toiscme
point where 1t would DO accessible al ali
Bc!asons OF the year, and where,
when tho weather aud road were good Il
would not DO half a nights work 10 haul q
load OF olfal to 1t. Everyone who had had
anything to do with tho building Of The
furnace or the making Of the tost, were Of
this opinion. Mr.. Smith, theinyentos and
builder, said that II moved ut oncs before
the iron ahed that had been contracted for
the protection Of the furnace wa put in
position, that the cost OF moving Il and
erecting II again would not DO over 500,
but II 1t Was not moved till tho shed wal
erected 1t would cost twice that amount,
Tho committee ordered that tho work
Of preparing the atone foundations for the
iron shed be postponed and arranged tc
make a tour Of tho city and ascertain whsI
would be q good location; but later on n
decided to report the necessity of change
Of location to Council and ask II o sppoin'
a special committee to select q site. Thls
Council refused to do, apparently beins
| disguised with the entire cremstory bust
ness and willing for it to remain perchuG
up Oh Wheeling hill.
In, tho meantime a letter was received
from the Keystone Bridge Company, o.
Pittsburgh, announcing that the shed wpE
completed, and asking II tho stone foun.
dations were ready for it.. Word was SEN
back that they were not. Day before yes
terdRy tho shed arrived and with It three
men to set it up.
Chairman Jaeger arranged for ntorins
the shed and sent the men back. He ther
called laat nights meeting. The commit.
tee is still OF the same opinion that the
crematory must be moved and will 80 re.
port to Council and again ask for Especial
committee 10 select q new site. In case
Council does not authorize the removal oil
the furnace, the expression OF one Coun.
Gilman, that "lour thousand dollars has
been spent to burn q horse" will be quite
dpropos. i
The joint special committee appointed
to ascertain the %sdvisability and cost o
compiling and publishing q new edition o.
ordinances also met and after informally
discussing the matter appointed from iii
number q subcommittee OF three to ex
amino into the proposition still further
The work Of compiling and printing a nov
edition will coat about $1,000. The lae'
edition was gotten out in 1881 and since
then the changes have been numerous ant
the the additions are enough in them
selves to make quite a volume. II the
treasury can stand 1t the scheme Is q goot
one.
The joint special committee appointed
under Mr.. Faris' resolution to ascertain
what could be done to induce new manu-
featuring establishments to locate here
also met and decided to ask the Chamber
Of Commerce to appoint q committee Of
five to meet and act with this committee
on Friday, March %. incidentally there
was much discussion and several valuable
idess were advanced by membera.
